Frédérique & Friends is a blog intended to share ideas, recipes, show you my projects and works as well as those of my friends and family who want to post on this blog. You can find a lot: embroidery, sewing, felt toys, photographies, cakes and a lot of other things.
All ideas are not originally mine, but I try to link to the other blogs that inspired me as much as possible.
Enjoy your visit!

Experimenting with the senses and developping fine motor-skills

A toddler, a box, needles and a needle cushion or ice cubes and a curious toddler... that's the recipe for some time of quietness for yourself, and discovery for your child! Little N. found the whole thing really interesting: that the ice-cubes eventually melted for instance, that she was allowed to put them in her mouth and found them very very cold and unchewable. For the needles, she had been trying to steal mine for some time, so I eventually pick 5 with colours and gave them to her (under careful supervision OF COURSE! and I do take them away once she is done playing!). She discovered that I was not joking when I told her needles sting ;)
